Conference Mission

The HIKMA Palestine Genocide Conference serves as both an international scholarly symposium and an academic archive. Our mission is to create the first comprehensive, AI-assisted knowledge hub dedicated to understanding, documenting, and contextualizing the systematic, prolonged, and ongoing genocide and apartheid imposed on Palestinians.

Conference & Archive Vision

A globally accessible conference series and scholarly archive platform that:

  • Preserves Palestinian memory
  • Supports international legal and human-rights advocacy
  • Provides AI-ready datasets for research
  • Trains the next generation of scholars on genocide studies through Gaza
  • Accelerates knowledge production using the HIKMA AI Paper Pipeline

Why HIKMA Palestine Genocide?

Because the catastrophe of Palestine is:

  • The longest-running ethnic cleansing in modern history - Over 75 years of systematic displacement, dispossession, and destruction
  • A digital-era genocide broadcast in real time - The world is witnessing unprecedented documentation of atrocities through social media and AI verification
  • A humanitarian collapse of global moral order - The failure of international institutions to protect civilians and uphold human rights
  • A test case for human-rights, citizenship, and post-colonial identity - Palestine represents the unfinished work of decolonization and the struggle for self-determination

HIKMA stands for Human-Inspired Knowledge by Machine Agents — this initiative brings the power of AI and academic rigor together for truth and justice.
